"We had the best time with our photographer! The photos came out soooo incredible We couldn’t be happier. Best photo experience EVER"
I booked a ‘Couples Portrait’ session when we visited Kauai. Highly, highly recommend Karma Hill photography. They were very communicative leading up to our photo session and our sneak peaks arrived so quickly. Our couples photographer was wonderful to work with. She gave great direction and she even gave us lots of good restaurant and activity recommendations for the remainder of our trip. When I saw our photos, I was speechless. They turned out even more stunning than I could ever imagine. Check out Karma Hill photography. You will not be disappointed - definitely worth every penny!

There’s a very specific kind of magic that happens when someone plans a surprise Kauai proposal portrait. Not just any proposal, but the kind that includes red roses, a quiet beach, and six years of knowing, you know, the kind that makes you tear up before the ring box is even open. That was Larissa […]

Some love stories come with fireworks. Others come with fate and a long history. And that’s exactly what Sam and Tatiana’s Kauai proposal portrait was all about. Sam and Tatiana’s story? Well, it’s got a little of everything. They’ve technically known each other since elementary school—second grade, to be exact. Same middle school. Same hometown. […]

There are proposals that catch you by surprise, and then there are proposals that arrive like a perfectly timed exhale—long-awaited, deeply felt, and a little bit funny in their own beautifully honest way. Nick and Brittney’s Kukuiula Kauai proposal portrait? Definitely the latter. Equal parts romantic and real. With a touch of “finally.” They’ve been […]

Some moments are so perfect, it feels like the whole world is quietly rooting for you. That’s exactly what Brandon and Leanna’s Kauai proposal portrait at Hanalei was like—dreamy, emotional, and bursting with joy under a sky so soft it looked like a watercolor painting. Brandon and Leanna’s story started in college, when they met […]

Some proposals are romantic. Some are picture-perfect. And some—like this Kauai proposal portrait—are the kind that make you believe in destiny. John and Megan’s love story didn’t begin with a swipe or a chance meeting at a coffee shop. It started long before that—when they were kids, growing up as neighbors, their families intertwined, their […]

There are moments that feel straight out of a movie—the kind that make you believe in grand gestures, fate, and the magic of saying yes to forever. Kyle and Jeanne’s Kauai proposal portrait?

What time of day is best for portraits? Morning or sunset?
Morning and sunset are both great times of day for portraits so it really depends on the look you want for your pictures. Morning sessions give a brighter more tropical look and it’s usually less windy! Sunset sessions create a warmer light with a beautiful Hawaii sunset in the background.
